Travel ball is really sad. Baseball was great before travel ball was ever invented.

Your opinion. He quit baseball because he has a love for football even more. And FYI, I didn’t make my youngest attend all my oldest sons tourneys.

Makes no sense for any kid younger than 12 to be cut from baseball. None


So you think it’s OK for a coach to keep 15 1617 kids on a tournament team and they all pay the same amount of money whereas four or five of those kids hardly ever see the field?

Eta. 13 kids on a youth travel ball or even REC team is one too many if you want to have equal and fair playing time.

The league either makes more teams, or divides into 2 divisions. simple fix,.

Weren't you just complaining about your kid's baseball taking up all your time?

Also maybe share a father-son beer with him or other special moment if he is old enough.


Yeah, let’s make sure to instill the association of alcohol with negative emotions at an early age.

You caught some heat and kids getting cut can be a good thing, nothing wrong with that, but I’ve never hear of having cuts at age 11 for baseball. I’m sure it’s been asked and answered, I assume this is some type of travel ball, and not a rec league?

This doesn’t sound like a league.

This sounds like it’s a private travel/tournament ball team.

I feel sorry for Jeff.

Was this the tournament in Baton Rouge this weekend? If so we will be there in the 8U AAA. Sorry didn’t make it but I’m looking forward to it!

Sorry man but at least you got an early education in why it is absolutely vital for him to play year round travel ball.

I have to admit I retired from coaching before travel ball got hot. Don't really want to spend the time ascertaining how I would feel about it, but I'm lucky in that all my sons were really good at baseball.

I know nothing about "private" teams, really speaking of "league" based little league, dixie, etc.

The coach is a pussy for not speaking with your son and giving him things to work on and encouragement.
